Just started having clutch issues a few days ago with my daily. Checked the reservoir and it was almost empty 
. Checked the carpet and there was oil residue on the tail end of the master cylinder and pedal arm.
I had forgotten this was a somewhat common problem and I had a spare from the pre-fire days in my part stash. I pulled the one in the car off to swap it out, but when I took the pre-fire one out it was leaving a trail of rust. The box was damaged, but the part looked fine when I stored it. Disassembly showed it must have gotten water in it when they put the fire out, the spring was rusting into pieces.
Anyhow I cleaned and flushed the original master cylinder and reinstalled it for now. It really showed no signs of wear, I am wondering if it was trash in the seal that was causing the leak. I got a new one on order and will monitor the cleaned one for leaks.

Any update on the CMC? Mine is leaking a tad as well and it would be great if it just needs to be cleaned up.
Picked up a used Apexi WS2 exhaust. The last run at TGPR my muffler exploded and all the packing blocked the pipe. (I probably wouldn't have noticed, if it didn't suck all the gas out) Given it appears to be a 17 year old ebay exhaust, I thought it wise to replace the system before the resonators follow suit.

Just wondering if they can be simply cleaned out good and re-installed or the entire unit needs to be replaced?
